Setup
Network Wiring
When wiring the Cresnet or Ethernet network, consider the following:
• Use Crestron Certified Wire.
• Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.
• Provide sufficient power to the system.
CAUTION:
Insufficient power can lead to unpredictable results or damage
to the equipment. Please use the Crestron Power Calculator to help calculate
how much power is needed for the system ( www.crestron.com/calculators ).
For networks with 20 or more devices, use a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to
maintain signal quality.
For more details, refer to “Check Network Wiring” on page 55.
The TPS-6X can also use high-speed Ethernet for communications between the
device and a control system, computer, digital media server and other IP-based
devices.
For general information on connecting Ethernet devices in a Crestron system, refer to
the latest version of the Crestron e-Control

Reference Guide (Doc. 6052), which is
available from the Crestron Web site ( www.crestron.com/manuals ).
